10 tips to help maintain your hosiery - by Heather Hart. Some of the tips are very sensible; others (eg no. 6, freezing) should be taken with a pinch of salt. No 1. (wear a bodystocking instead) is not going to be much good for most men, and I doubt whether it would work, given the fact that most bs are one-size.
The Atrium - Kristine Grevstad's forum for discussing alternative fashions.
Bobby Moore Action Pants - a sound clip of an interview about an early British attempt to market tights for men.
Collants.org - tasteful Italian site with pictures of ladies wearing tights.

Feinstrumpfhosen Informationen - Klaus Weber's site fsh-info.de, in German - looking good.
FSHPrinz - not in German as you might expect, but in English. Site by a man who loves wearing FSH (Feinstrumpfhosen - tights or pantyhose to you). No updates for 18 months, but worth a look! I wish that guy would shave his legs though.

The niche market being, of course, tights / pantyhose for men.

It's not strange that we are in tights - A Japanese guy's site, in English. Worth looking at only for the photos of the owner wearing tights as part of a normal male wardrobe.Leg show - a cross-dresser's take on pantyhose. A very good page from Yvonne's Place.
Make Over for Legs - A woman called Caroline encourages other women (and men too) to buy and wear tights. Worth a look.
